Glass Houses shut Down.

To-day at noon the Central glass house
will shut down indefinitely, pending an
adjustment of the differences between
manufacturers and men. Hobbs, Brock
unier & Co.'S works have been closed
down in all departments except the glass
house proper, and it will also close down
to-day. The outlook for q settlement of
the trouble does not appear to be any
brighter; and, in fact, rs far az learned,
nothing new has turned up in the situa-
ton.
Speaking in reference to dispatch
which states that the owners of the eastern
flint glass factories will push things so as
to cause strike, President Smith, of the
A. F. G.. w. Union, said: Before we
called our uen out, we understood that
the eastern employers would presen the

ments."
The officials of the American Flint Glass
Workers Union are patiently waiting the
outeo ne of the trouble in the ESstern fac
tories, says the Chronicle Telegraph.>
On January second the present scale
there will expire, and the men wiz de-
mand the same scale for next year. The
manufacturers, one and all, have refuses
to sign any scale at all which would not
open the factories to non-union workmen
as we'll as the union men. Altogether
there are about 800 members in the union
involved, which will affect about 1000
more indirectly. The workmen have not
insisted on an increase in their wages,
and all they ask is that none but union
men be employed. This is the vital
question with the employees, and they will
most certainly refuse TO accept the rule of
the Eastern manufacturers, which is the
same as Rule 2, which caused the strike
As yet the Eastern manufacturers have not
stated definitely whether or not they will
shut down their factories, if the employees
refuse to work on the new scase presented
by the manufacturers.
Should the strike occur, it will give the
national officers of the Union considerable
more work. They will have to pay about
SIS, 600 weekly out OF the strike fund to
the workers.

SOME INTERESTING NEWS CONCERNING
THE INDUSTRIAL SITUATION: =
Whsta Mailer Has 10 Say About he Small Nail
QussiOn--Ths Glass LOckoat--
t6G General Notes

Since the recent conference between the
Wheeling nail manufacturers and naiiers,
nothing has been done, asfar as known, IN
the way Of attempting TO overcome the
trouble concerning the small nail question,
which has recently been brought into
prominence by the fact that the Wheeling
manufacturers have been forced ont of the
market, by the cheaper wire nail, and also
the cut nail, which is manufactured by the
tack men at q cost of about one-third the
price paid by the nail men.
The REGISTER recently published an
interview with manufacturer concerning
the matter, in which he stated that about
the only plausible way ont of the diff
Guilty was to reduce the price per keg for
making and give each mailer greater
number of machines.
It was stated by some people that this
method would be reduction Of the nailer's
wages, but, of course, this is not literally
true. 1t would, however, be a reduction
Of the number of nailers, which, in itself,
would be Objectionable TO them and in di-
rect opposition to the laws Of the Amalga-
mated Association.
A REGISTER representative met mailer
yesterday and asked him what he thought
Of the condition of things
WELL" he answered, 81 cannot think
OF any way out of the difficulty that would
be satisfactory to both sides. Some one
says the nail manufacturers should put
up the price Of nail plate on the tack men
and get the best of them in that manner.
Such q proposition is perfectly senseless,
as they would be depriviDg themselves Of
that mucd more business and giving it to
firms who manufacture plate entirely.
| The only thing | see they can do is to
protect the nailers in their organization,
and let them endeavor to bring the tack
ers in with them. However, even doubt
if that would work we'll | have no idea
whether the nailers would agree to the
increased number of machines to a job or
not, but there is one thing sure, if they
should, more of them would be at work
than there are now, when they really
haven't any work at all.
Another thing they might do would be
to put mp the price of the larger sized nails
aud protect themselves IN that way, but l
am not here to offer suggestions for way
out of the difficulty, because l don't
believe there is anything to do
just now but do nothing. That's Just
what Pm doing, aud l tell you it is pref
ty tough job to make both ends meet. 1
think I'll lay for a job on the Union
bridge next spring"

That Nail Meeting.

An Associated Press telegram from
Pittsburg, last evening said: The reduc-
ton in the price of nails from $2.25 to 50
per key, which was decided upon at the
meeting in this city last Wednesday, was
made by the Pittsburg manufacturers in
OF the Western Nail Association.
Walter Chess. prominent manufa cturer
of this city, stated to Dispatch reporter
tonight that the Pittsburg manufacturers
that the wages paid in the west
were from 20 to 80 per cent. less
than in Pittsburg. The western
were not anxious to reduce
the card rate as they had special contracts
with their men and so the Pittsburg man
utactureIs decided to do it themselves.
Trade" said he: as dull and without
u reduction in the cost of production, it
would be impossible to compete with the
western dealers and we would be compelled
to close our factories" The reduction in
the card rate will cause a reduction in the
nailers' wages scale from II to 10 cents.

ASTONISHING SUCCESS

to let its wonderful qualities be
known to their friends in curing
Consumption, severe Coughs, Group,
Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all
throat and lung diseases. No per-
son can use it without immediate re-
lief. Three doses will relieve any
case, and we consider it the duty
of all Druggists to recommend it
to the poor, dying consumptive, at
least to try one bottle, as 10000
dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was
reported. Such a medicine as the
German Syrup cannot be too wide
ly known. Ask your druggist about
it. Sample bottles to try sold at 10
cents. Regular size Is cents. Sold
by all druggist and dealers, in the
United States and Canada.
